Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons baking soda
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and Himalayan pink salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for additional 30-second intervals until melted and combined.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the eggs. Using a spatula, fold together until a dough forms. Knead with your hands if necessary to thoroughly mix the ingredients.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, approximately 20 inches in length. Form ropes into pretzel shapes by creating a U-shape and crossing the ends over each other twice, then folding down to touch the bottom of the U.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly add the baking soda (caution: it will bubble up).

Step 7

Carefully dip each pretzel into the boiling baking soda solution using a spatula, and boil for about 1 minute each, then transfer back to the lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse sea salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb pretzels warm for the best texture!
